lindsey graham on how he felt tim scott did and what they are looking for in rudy giuliani's apartment at 6 in the morning yesterday for 2 hours. that is coming up. hopefully you are up. .

>> dana: intolerance so often comes from the left and uncle tim and the n word being used against me and last night in social media trending was uncle tim as they doubled down on liberal oppression. it is stunning in 2001 those who speaks about ending discrimination want to end it by more discrimination. >> bill: we have a moment here -- what i like to do during these nights is watch the interaction on the floor. there was a moment toward the end of this speech when the president was walking out some video of rob portman, senator from ohio. i spoke -- it got my attention because of how engaged they were and at one point senator pulling the president's right elbow saying you're not getting away just yet. i spoke to senator portman earlier today. he would characterize the conversation but did not want to be quoted. he made it clear that he wants

the president's words to be met with action and he made it clear that the republicans are saying don't leave us out of this conversation. you have to recall february 1st, 10 republicans including portman went to the oval office with a big offer an bipartisanship rejected within 24 hours. portman said i will take the opportunity to make sure that we will have something that is true middle ground and true infrastructure. watch that story as it -- >> dana: he is not running for reelection. i want to get something done but a pattern. another congressman got to biden and said i want to work with you on police reform. biden said i will like that. he said i don't know how to get ahold of you. he said he would get ahold of him. i think what is happening they think that biden is not -- they aren't having any access and

being too protected by -- by people. >> bill: there are a few republicans will tell you they have had more access than more democrats. >> dana: portman has known him for years. >> bill: president biden ticking off part of his vision. >> president biden: i can report to the nation america is on the move again. i have never been more confident or optimistic about america. i've introduced the american families plan tonight which addresses four of the biggest challenges facing american families. i will not add a tax burden -- additional tax burden to the middle class in this country. they are already paying enough. it is time for corporate america and most wealthy americans to begin to pay their fair share. >> dana: we'll reaction in a

moment. let's begin with gillian turner from the white house this morning. >> good morning. democrats here in washington are saying the president really struck a hopeful, optimistic tone saying the nation has been starved for during the pandemic. republicans not so much. they say what they heard from the president was a $6.1 trillion spending plan from cradle to grave government. green jobs, the national economy the president lasered in on the connection between the two. he said green jobs are the future. take a listen. >> for me i think climate change i think jobs. american jobs plan will create millions of good paying jobs, jobs america can raise a family on. >> the president had a very direct message for wealthy americans and corporate america, listen. >> president biden: i will not impose any tax increase on people making less than $400,000. but it is time for corporate

america and the wealthiest 1% of americans to begin to pay their fair share. >> he insisted all the tax hikes are just in the interest of unity, dana. >> dana: tell us more about the rebuttal from senator tim scott of south carolina. >> what started trending on twitter last night after he spoke was uncle tim. a reference people are saying to uncle tom in classic american literature. a lot of people are pushing back saying it was racist. i want to get this quote right. the trend twitter says this morning was human curated which means people really lit up on social media about this last night. it was not from twitter's own algorithm. let's listen to what the senator himself said. >> tonight we also heard about a so-called family plan. even more taxing, even more spending to put washington even more in the middle of your life

from the cradle to college. >> senator scott in his remarks last night didn't just hit the american families plan but hit back on what republicans have been calling the woke liberal mob insisting to downplay the progress america has made over the last 100 years is very dangerous. >> hear me clearly. america is not a racist country. it is backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination. it is wrong to use our painful past to shut down debate in the present. >> the president is taking last night's message on the road today leaving for georgia in couple of minutes. >> dana: thank you so much. >> bill: let's dive into it now. karl rove first up today. good morning. i want our viewers to know the piece you wrote in the "wall street journal." joe biden is

the $6 trillion man. it means a 2022gop opportunity. a lot of places we can go with this conversation. why don't you begin? >> it was interesting to me. each manmade three points last night. president biden i thought the speech was misleading. he starts out saying covid is a mess and i fixed it. who produced those vaccines. what was operation warp speed. he would have looked stronger he said drawing on operation warp speed we're overcoming covid. he said u.s. is in a mess. we need all these once in a generation investments and talked how we need to make that permanent. if it is a once in generation investment, once in a generation sounds like a one-time deal. last night he was talking about making permanent that were the one-time investment in the first covid bill in his add inis traition. he talked about bipartisanship.

we haven't seen any evidence of bipartisanship. i thought it was an okay speech. it will advance his agenda but i thought it was really overwhelmed by tim scott's speech. he said we passed five covid bills. this year we passed that had a 1% went for vaccinations, $2 trillion and passed on a straight party line vote. then he talked about infrastructure bill. they won't even build bridges in order to build bridges he said about the unwillingness to talk about bipartisanship. i thought it was powerful opportunity zones, police reform. tax cuts, criminal justice reform. historically black colleges and universities. rebuilding the military. every time he could he was talking about republican ideals.

finally there was a note -- right from the beginning the life story, story of america and the condition of where america was today and he could take on the question of race. i thought that line that gillian had from his speech it is backwards to fight discrimination with different types of discrimination was a very powerful moment in his speech. >> dana: tim scott broke one of dana perino's communication rules. he proved me wrong last night. oftentimes people think you gives the response that means you're elevated to a possible future in the republican party. he is already senator. do you think he has potential to have higher office in the future? >> i think he was wise to say i'm not thinking about that. waint to get reelected as the junior senator from south carolina first things first. i tell you, i've been hearing a lot of buzz about him and he will be coming to texas on may 7 and participating in an event i have helped organize where we have a large number of rising

stars of the 2024 -- 2022 election cycle here in texas speaking to a group of republicans. >> bill: thanks for your time. we have a lot of folks waiting in the wings. initial reaction from rove there in austin, texas. >> dana: mike pompeo joins us now, former secretary of state. let's get your thoughts about the speech last night. >> good morning. this was reminiscent of what we've heard from the government democrats for an awfully long time. the idea that families are better off if we take more money and redistribute it across america. it is the opposite of what you heard senator scott talk about and what conservative republicans are talking about. we watched in the four years of the trump administration an economy based on opportunity. supported working class families and built american energy independence. all the things that are the central building blocks of american strength at home and abroad. these are the kinds of things

working people all across america benefit from now green climate change and find you a job in another state if we destroy your pipeline it in the dakotas. it was an odd speech other than a socialist big government vision of america is what the american people want. i don't think that's the case. >> bill: you were at the tip of the spear the level of attention the america put on focus with beijing. president biden on china last night. >> president biden: we are know competition in china and other countries to win the 21st century. the blades from wind turbines should be built in pittsburgh instead of beijing. no reason. none. there is no reason why american workers can't lead the world in production of electric vehicles and batteries. >> bill: what does he have right and wrong on that point?

>> the rhetoric and objective is noble and good. the policies that he laid out after he spoke about that will never lead to what he is talking about. raise energy costs in the united states. big burdens on companies that invest here in america, if you reduce the opportunity for small companies to take risks inside the united states of america, then china will have the opportunity to build those things. the goal was good, the rhetoric was good but in the end he will have to deliver on a counter china policy in the same way the trump administration did for four years. we put tariffs in place, we protected intellectual property, shut down some spy rings. what we haven't seen the administration willing to confront the chinese communist party in the way it's dealing with the united states. >> dana: he talked about passing comprehensive immigration reform but not addressing the issues we'll talk to a rancher in a little

bit. it's like they want to sweep it under the rug. >> it was a little odd given the calamity at the southern border he didn't spend more time on it. i'm always loath to criticize people for things they don't talk about it. this is such a big problem. i saw and heard from people in arizona having their lives, ranchs families really impacted by these people coming across the southern border. they are scared they may be terrorists. they know there are drugs coming across the southern border. that he didn't lay out his vision how to stop the crisis on the southern border was a little bit odd. >> bill: thank you for your time. mike pompeo, thank you. >> thank you. >> bill: 14 past the hour now. in a moment here what really happened. new details on what happened just moments before sheriff's deputy shot and killed a man in north carolina and why we have to wait about a month now on that body cam video decision

coming up in a moment. >> dana: on the heels of nationwide protests over policing hundreds of officers have quit in one city alone. we'll talk to the union head next. >> bill: president biden pushing climate change agenda saying it's about creating jobs. senator marco rubio is here to respond to that claim. don't miss this. that's coming up. the newday 100 va loan lets you borrow up to 100% percent of your home's value. with today's rates near all-time lows and home values at record highs, you can take out $50,000 or more and lower your payments by $600 a month. the newday 100 va loan. only from newday usa. if you have... ...moderate to severe psoriasis, ... ...little things... ...can become your big moment. that's why there's otezla. otezla is not a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently.

>> bill: 20 past the hour. north carolina, the story unfolding around andrew brown junior, prosecutors saying brown hit cops twice before his car started moving away from them and that's when they opened fire which contradicts the claims made by the brown family attorneys. all this coming now amid the eighth straight night of protests with police making several arrests. griff jenkins back on the ground in elizabeth city. good morning.

>> that's right. there were arrests last night. we can show you the video. mostly peaceful. police chief tells me they arrested nine individuals for breaking the 8:00 p.m. curfew that comes after seven arrested the previous night. protests came after a county courthouse here a judge ruling as you mentioned the video which consists of four total videos from five cameras will not be publicly released for at least 30 days. but the judge also ordered that the video -- all of the video be shown to the brown family within 10 days. it was the district attorney's request. he felt a public release of the videos would hinder the investigation. afterwards we caught up with harry daniels, an attorney for the brown family. >> we got a partial victory. we should at least get all five body cams that saves us from filing our motion.

we still want immediate releast of the video to the family at large. i think it was okay. >> in the courtroom we also learned that key detail, the d.a. saying that brown's car made contact twice with deputies. why does that matter? in the investigation, it may indeed indicate the deputies were justified in their deadly use of force. meanwhile, the sheriff here has been under such scrutiny for not releasing the video, which his hands were tied because of the north carolina law said in an interview with us he hopes someday they will change that law. watch this. >> that's one of the things that was immediately apparent to me that this needs to be out faster. if we will continue to have that community trust, we have to have transparency and the accountability will follow absolutely. so yes, i would definitely support the change of the law.

>> and this morning the nor is asking for a special prosecutor. >> dana: president of the seattle police officer's guild. here the in kenosha. he said we must return to individual responsibility. as you look at these stories that are happening in communities but getting national attention, what's the effect on -- from your perspective on police and protecting communities? >> good morning, dana and bill thanks for having me on again. it's a symptom of our urban cities decaying because of lack of political support by our leaders and i give credit to that chief in kenosha who

doesn't fear any retribution because he appears to be leading and saying what is truth in fact without fear of that political retribution. i wish we would have more leaders that have that impetus to tell it how it is so our communities get the full breadth of what is happening across this profession. not just in that area of our nation, but here in seattle. as you mentioned the morale is terrible here as we have an incredible amount of officers that have separated from this agency due to the lack of political support. >> dana: so i understand about 200 or more cops in seattle have quit. are they leaving the professional together or going somewhere different? >> the separation numbers, we're 260 officers post george floyd separating from this agency. those are officers looking for jurisdictions where they have the political support, where

they have value in their profession and why they swore to the oath of service to serve. others have flat out retired. that is a symptom of how this great city is rotting away as just three days ago two great officers that i represent, unformed officers go into a coffee and chocolate shop and denied service by an employee. we have lack of political support and the narrative of blaming police for every violent confrontation is the reason to why this profession, particularly here in seattle, is in the predicament that it's in. i call on our elected officials to stop pushing the false narratives about the brave men and women that do the job of policing. we're at a precipice in our profession where i'm fearful where we'll have not many people want to do this job. that will lead to a further decay of public safety not just

locally but across the nation. >> dana: mike solan, thank you for your thoughts this morning. appreciate it. >> bill: thanks, dana. >> the left they have doubled down that they are going to not attack my policies but they are literally attacking the color of my skin. you cannot step out of your lane according to the liberal elite left. >> bill: that's senator tim scott last hour responding to that speech, trolls attacked him with a racial slur. why did twitter allow that to trend? immigration was not a second, third or fourth topic. as the crisis unfolds at the border senator marco rubio will be our guest and sparking reaction after this. and you could take out $50,000 dollars or more.

night. he glossed over the surge of children at the border and expressing confidence in vice president harris and her mission to address the root issues of it. marco rubio is here. get your thoughts. obviously you are on the intel committee talking about national security. the border is part of that. >> yeah, i apologize i didn't hear the last piece of your question. one of your producers cut in and talked to a future guest. >> dana: get your fact on the immigration piece came so late in the piece and border security issue also national security was not really addressed. >> it is not surprising one of the biggest failures of the first 100 days is something they've ignored. i don't think there is any dispute it is a crisis or any disput it was something caused by the fogs decisions they made. when you take over the presidency and do everything the opposite of the previous president that is a signal to people it is easier to get in.

whether it's true-in-law or not that's the perception. these are desperate people living in horrible conditions, we sympathize with them but we can't have an uncontrolled situation on the border which is what it's become. he doesn't highlight it. he glosses over it and doesn't surprise me he passed it on to the vice president, too, by the way. it probably isn't one to want to be associated with directly. >> bill: one of the more telling comments from yesterday was during a lunch with some of the tv anchors. that is the tr tradition on the day of the state of the union speech. on the record now he said we talk about, you know, can you unite the parties. well, i united the democratic party and no one thought it could happen and pretty damn quickly. so his party has moved to the left and joe biden has moved with them. so how do we come around to understanding what a lot of people thought was a centrist center left politician who has

proposed three, $2 trillion packages for the american people? >> that's where the energy in the democratic party is. the energy, activism and money comes from the left of the democratic party and where he needs to move to. maybe he is not a natural in that spot but he became a vessel for them to do things and his policies are moving in that direction and populated his administration from people from the far left. despite what his history, his actions matter now. a lot of the things he talked about yesterday are things most americans agree with. i believe we need to have more pro-family policies, the most important unit in the entire society and years i've been proposing pro family policies. they have to be the right ones. saying we'll spend a trillion on this doesn't mean you care more, it means you will spend more of other people's money, taxpayer money and run up the debt. there will be a lot of spending involved no matter what we do but it should be on the right

things and measured, not simply you'll spend a trillion, i'll spend a trillion and a half. that's silliness. most people understand just because you spend more on something doesn't mean your idea is better or care more about it than anybody else does. >> dana: your take on two things on tim scott. he talks about voting. that's a big issue, joe biden did talk about hr1, the democrats' push for voting rules they want to implement. here is tim scott. >> it will be easier to vote early in georgia than in democrat-run new york. but the left doesn't want you to know that. they want people virtue signaling by yelling about a law they haven't even read. >> dana: how contentious is this issue on the hill. >> it is a factor. embedded in that is the notion you heard references to jim crow and segregation and racial hatred and the like and obviously that's why people care about it. one of the worst things you can call anybody is the label

racist. that's what's implied in all of these voting law changes. the bottom line is that i think the vast majority of americans have no problem with showing an identification before they vote. they do it all the time to board an airplane, check into a hotel room. they do it to get into office buildings in many cases and where i live you can't even go to the garbage dump without showing i.d. to prove you live in that community and pay taxes there. this is one example of the kinds of things that people look at and say what's the big deal? they make it all sound like it is designed to repress votes. >> dana: senator tim scott last night we talked about on the show so far on twitter while he was doing his speech someone used a racial slur on twitter and went everywhere calling him uncle tim. twitter did not suspend it. this morning it is not there but it took 11 hours to get it done.

>> there is no doubt there is a double standard. the problem here is not that twitter doesn't take it down. they take it down when it's against democrats or the left or slower to do it when it's against the right or conservative. that's the problem and hypocrisy. i've seen it and unfortunate. one thing we learned the left is for tolerance except for tolerance of anyone who disagrees with them or doesn't say what they want. then they're intolerant. that's not tolerance. >> bill: thank you for your time. please come back soon. a lot the talk about marco rubio. in that rebuttal we mentioned by senator scott responding to a controversial fact check profile down playing the hardships that scott's family faced in the jim crow south. the headline was he often talks about his grandfather and cotton. there is more to that tale. here is what the senator said a moment ago on fox. >> here is what he was really trying to do.

discredit my story. he was trying to discredit my grandfather and my mother and myself for one reason, because it doesn't fit the narrative that in america it's impossible for people who look like me to rise to this position. >> bill: wow. good for him. >> dana: what's interesting about that. tim scott is described by a friend of his we'll have on the show trey gowdy as someone very reluctant and receipt sent to talk about himself. he would much rather talk about policies and move on. he is being put in that position. i don't think the left realizes what they are doing. elevating his profile to the point where people think i like that guy, his optimism. he is optimistic. great tone, good temperament without the progressive policies. >> bill: a lot of poise. senator rubio knows tim scott. >> dana: we didn't ask him but he gave him advice and said drink beforehand. a stunning new report on the

>> president biden: american leadership means ending the forever war in afghanistan. we went to afghanistan to get terrorists. the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 and we delivered justice to bin laden and after 20 years of value, valor and sacrifice, it is time to bring those troops home. >> dana: president biden pledging a homecoming for u.s. troops in afghanistan despite rising violence throughout the country and new threat warning the u.s. to leave the country by the end of this month. retired general and former c.i.a. director general petraeus joins us now. yesterday a taliban commander demanded the u.s. leave may 1, original agreed upon date and unfortunate for the u.s. if they did not do that. how would you take that? >> first of all, dana, great to be with you.

congratulations on the still somewhat new show. congratulations on the new book and thanks again for having my back when you were the press secretary during the surge. >> dana: absolutely. >> i think what is important to recall. first of all i have enormous respect for the national security team the new president has put in office and broadly in agreement with the foreign policy that is emerging but two exceptions. one is the need for international trade as part of a company hereent, comprehensive of all of governments with our approach to china and the ending of the forever war. the truth is we are not ending the endless war, we're ending our involvement in it and because we're leaving so are the twice as many troops from the coalition as we have leaving as well. i fear that a couple of years from now we will look back and we are going to remember that whenever there are ungoverned spaces in the muslim world

extremists fill them. it is very important to remember the 9/11 attacks were planned and training of attackers was conducted in a sanctuary that al qaeda enjoyed when the taliban rule the country. we should expect that they will try to recreate such sanctuaries if the taliban is able to extend their sway over more of afghanistan. so again we should recognize that this war is not ending. what is ending is our involvement in it. i know the central command commander and others are working very hard together with the intelligence community to insure that we have the capability to identify the reemergence of sanctuaries by al qaeda in the islamic state but it is a long way from the gulf states where we have the bulk of our assets, even from an aircraft carrier parked off southern pakistan or if we're able to get a base perhaps in uzbekistan we won't be able to

fly our armed aircraft from it most likely. i think afghanistan is in for difficult times. i'm reassured it was a tough decision. there were no good choices. there were only bad choices or least bad. but i think the least bad frankly would have been to maintain a sustainable measured in the expenditure of blood and treasure, sustained commitment and that's what's needed. >> bill: isis built the caliphate in less than three years. i don't know if that's the same fate for afghanistan. maybe six months this time around. it will be 20 years in september. what do you think is the right answer for us and our interests? >> again, i think we should have learned from 20 years of war with islamist extremists. ungoverned spaces will be exploited. the u.s. needs to lead with a coalition that includes muslim countries but you have to have a sustained commitment.

this is not the fight of a decade much less a few years, it is a generational struggle. the question is how efficient and effective can you get a very small number of forces? let's recognize in afghanistan is the afghan security forces that have been fighting and dying for their country in substantial numbers. we have been providing advice and assistance and enablers but we haven't had a battle loss in the last year perhaps in part because of the deal with the taliban where they are getting, by the way, just about all that they want without giving much in return if anything at all. we are leaving, that's their biggest goal. so will the coalition partners therefore and they've gotten their detainees out of prison in afghanistan as well. again i'm assured there will be as much support as we can muster but it will be from afar. and keep in mind this is a tough country to get to. it has the when hindu kush as

its spine and nothing easy about helping our former partners. i worry, frankly, what is going to happen to those in afghanistan in the cities, the business leaders, intelligence who are already seeing assassination attack campaign against them and, of course, the 50% of afghanistan that is women could be be in for a very bleak future as well. i hope it is not the case but i fear two years from now we'll look back and regret this decision. >> dana: we hope you will come back and talk to us again. >> thanks. >> bill: in a moment mainstream media reacting to the big speech last night and surprise to no one, they loved it. >> it was really beautiful. it was beautiful. >> i thought it was a remarkable speech. >> after four years of a monotone shout, it was bracing to hear a speech delivered at

times by a whisperer. >> bill: the words in dew point that's a gold star. >> dana: they were giving him a gold start. if you are the white house and shore up your base and give a speech that went fine. karl said it was fine. they're probably feeling pretty good today. a speech at the second 100 days will be well. what can actually get done? that remains to be seen. >> bill: "washington post" talked about this earlier today. called it folk see and hopeful and urgent. victory lap over covid and on and on it went. that's the lowdown from last night. president biden pushing a progressive agenda, a big one at that. republican senator tim scott finds his moment to push back and trey gowdy in a moment on that. what message is this sending? you have a room of vaccinated, socially distanced politicians

brooklyn, new york. >> good morning. we're learning that top aides for governor cuomo began as early as april of 2020 reportedly actively covering up the true number of covid-19 deaths in new york's nursing homes which is more than 15,000. "new york times" reporting that over at least five months cuomo's most senior aides prevented a scientific paper from being published that included the true nursing home death toll. they kept an audit of the deaths quiet for months before publicly releasing it and never sent two health department letters with important data meant for state legislators. we knew his aides edited a state health department report last july omitting 3,000 covid-19 nursing home deaths in hospitals. cuomo's office says it is because they didn't trust the data. critics say the true death toll was covered up because cuomo was in the middle of negotiating a book deal. the governor denied that claim. over the last couple months

cuomo has held public events most closed to the press surrounded by allies, some defending him, despite the fact that he is under at least three investigations including an impeachment inquiry over scandals including allegations of sexual harassment. yesterday in a statement democratic assemblyman ron kim said this. anyone still at his side at press conferences as if all of this never happened is further perpetuating an increasing the likelihood of future cycles of abuse and exploitation. an attorney said the allegations were overblown bru-ha-ha. >> dana: that's quotable. thank you. >> president biden: our progress these past 100 days against one of the worst pandemics in history has been one of the greatest logistical achievements, logistical achievements this country has ever seen. >> bill: the president praising

his administration and not giving any credit to the trump team. 200 people socially distanced, vaccinated and still wearing masks last night. good day to you. what's up with that? >> good morning, guys. he talked about hope instead of fear. he did show hope when he talked about the story in arizona about a nurse who was vaccinated that was so happy to be protecting an immunocompromised child in her house. that spoke to the message the vaccine protects those around you, not just you. that was good. he didn't speak to the red states at all. dana made this point already. only to his base. you look at the blue states on the coasts all have the mask mandates in place, right? kentucky, louisiana, maryland, now are opening up and mandates are going away. yet in congress they're all there with masks and distancing. that's a message of fear not

hope. then as you just said he is busy blaming the previous administration and taking a victory lap saying 70% of seniors are now vaccinated. it was only 1% when i came into office. wait a minute. what about the fact that the vaccine came to market faster than any vaccine in human history and if there was a slowdown at the beginning it was on the manufacturing level the way we're seeing with the johnson & johnson shot now. of course he took the ball that he was given and ran with it. how about giving credit to the prior administration as a way of creating the unity he is talking about and take off your masks as a way of showing hope, not fear. >> dana: was that even based -- did that even follow cdc guidelines last night? as far as i read them, no. >> no, they are fully vaccinated, in a group of other people that are fully vaccinated. they don't need to be wearing masks at all. there was a study that just showed that the distancing doesn't help either because covid-19 the six foot rule is

for the flu and different viruses. it doesn't even work for covid-19. they sent a message that was back several months. they could have taken off the masks because they are vaccinated. >> bill: cdc says you can gather indoors with fully vaccinated people without a mask or staying six feet apart. so much for that. thank you, doc. >> they need to send a different message. go forward, everybody relax, go outside and take off your mask. >> bill: thank you. nice to see you, marc siegel. president biden saying now is the time to vastly expand government power as he pushes another enormous spending plan along with massive tax hikes into the future to pay for it all. a new hour starts right now. if you stayed up last night got some fallout today. i'm bill hemmer, good morning. >> dana: good morning again. the president making his first speech to congress proposing his latest spending and tax plan in a mostly empty house

chamber bringing the total price for all his spending plans in more than 100 days to more than $6 trillion dollars. republicans rejecting the cradle to grave government. >> he talked about bipartisanship but we haven't seen any evidence of bipartisanship. i thought it was an okay speech. it will advance his agenda but i thought it was really overwhelmed by tim scott's speech. >> they have to be the right pro-family policies. just saying we spend a trillion on this doesn't mean you care more it means you spend more of other people's money and run up the debt. >> these ideas of green climate change and find you a job in some other state if we destroy your pipeline in the dakotas, it was an odd speech other than someone who believes deeply that a socialist vision, big government vision of kam is what the american people want. i don't think that's the case. >> dana: breaking news about the racial slurs trending on twitter attacking senator tim

scott following his rebuttal to president biden's speech. >> bill: trey gowdy is with us now. let's talk about your friend tim scott in a moment. your reaction to last night. what did you hear? >> you know, bill, if you like contrast and i do like contrast, it was on vivid display. you have big government really no limitations on the size and scope. we'll handle pre-k, college. we didn't get into elder care but their plan does. and then republicans conservatives used to be about a limited federal government. they will -- republicans are going to have a hard time complaining about the price tag because they didn't say jack about money for four years. what we legitimately expect from government is the opening. i will be curious to see if the 2024 presidential as pir ants

talk about this limited role for the federal government in contrast to what biden said last night. >> dana: senator scott talked a lot about policies. he did say the country is not a racist country. kamala harris the vice president was asked about that this morning and take a look. >> senator tim scott said last night that america is not a racist country. do you agree with that? >> i don't think america is a racist country but we have to speak truth about the history of racism in our country and its ex tense tonight. it's manifested by white supremacists. these are issues we must confront and it doesn't -- it does not help to heal our country to unify us as a people to ignore the realities of that. >> dana: is tim scott able to help move this conversation along if she said she also doesn't think it is a racist country? >> you know, dana, i think tim scott has already moved this conversation along and i am sure that kamala harris was up

very early this morning denouncing all the folks on the left who were using racial slurs in connection with senator tim scott this morning. i'm sure she is probably still doing that right now because she is so concerned about the insidious effect of racism in this country that it will be equal outrage when it applies to a conservative to tim scott. i will be shocked if she will show up for work today. she is probably calling all the nuts on the left saying back off what you're saying about tim scott. >> bill: we are trying to get a frame of how joe biden looks at america today. during the campaign everybody thought he was a centrist, right, going to unify the country. that's what he ran on, right? during this lunch yesterday at the white house he was quoted as saying the following. number 6, he says we talk about can you unite the parties. well, i united the democratic party. no one thought it would happen. pretty damn quickly. for the other party i'm not in

a position to do much to be able to help on that score until they come to their milk on this. where he thinks the country he is today. the journal writes mr. biden has always been a party man above all and this is where his party is now. the president is governing as democrats in congress want him to. will you put that into your own words so how we can probably help our audience understand why you make a request for $6 trillion in 100 days? >> yeah. this is what i would tell my fellow citizens. joe biden is a centrist only when compared to elizabeth warren or ocasio-cortez. yes, compared to some of the other candidates seeking the democrat nomination he was a centrist. but if you look back through his career in the senate, there

were moderate democrats. he just was not one of them. so he is a creature of the senate. he obviously understands politics. you don't get to where he is without understanding it. he sees the party as pulling him to the left and he wants to be part of that. what is in his heart? i have no idea. but joe biden as a centrist only when you are standing in between kamala harris and elizabeth warren could you be considered a centrist. >> dana: there wasn't a lot of media scrutiny about his plans. some people are saying why isn't anybody surprised? joe biden laid all this out. we had detail policy speeches and long policy forums. it didn't get any coverage. and the "wall street journal" says joe biden has always governed with a gut feeling for voters but that as larry summers and steve ratner economics on the left they are saying to the administration whoa, this may be way too much and very risky.

>> i think what's going to happen. first of all, joe biden is really good at this one thing. he talks like someone that we want to like. he makes just enough mistakes to be human. he is almost like a grandfather or kind of a nutty professor. you can get away with being really progressive or really conservative if you talk normal. so he does have that part of it down pat. i think what's going to happen, dana, he is going to be in the 50s in terms of popularity two years from now as he watches the house flip and kevin mccarthy becomes the speaker. so he will be liked. he will just be out of power. >> dana: they will take a drubbing in 2022 as things stand now. >> bill: thanks for coming on. trey gowdy. thank you. >> president biden: immigrants have done so much for america during this pandemic and

throughout our history. our country supports immigration reform. we should act. let's argue over it and debate it, but let's act. >> dana: president biden renewing his call for immigration reform. one thing to do so in the corridors of power. quite another for folks dealing with the unfolding crisis at the southern border day in and day out. a texas rancher joins us now. those of us watching this issue, covering this issue, we're here in new york or washington, d.c. but are you there on the front lines. you have a ranch and dealing with this. what was it like when you tried to with the other group of ranchers try to meet with officials to tell them that the situation is out of hand for you? >> well, dana, it was -- the takeaway we got from it yesterday was a couple hundred people put together by the south texas agri women. people who have husbands in the field every day ranching and farming and the basic thing we got from this yesterday

unfortunately we're not going to get a lot of support from the cbp. they basically said their hands are tied and the best thing for us is to work with our state reps, our congress and so on and so forth. local officials and they are all doing as much as they can, i'm sure our local guys are just really going at it wide open and so on and so forth. so you know it's very unfortunate that we don't have support from our local -- from our cbp. >> dana: mark kelly is the senator from arizona and he said about last night's speech what i didn't hear tonight was a plan to address the immediate crisis at the border and i will continue holding this administration accountable to deliver the resources and staffing necessarys for a humane, orderly process to support local economies and fix our immigration system. i just feel it seems to me having been there that there is a lack of urgency being

expressed. >> dana, i'm sorry, i had a group of guys coming through looking for some immigrants. you will have to put it back at me again. i am going to tell you that we -- i'm just going to tell you that we don't have -- we're not getting the support as the u.s. this is not good for us. we're under siege here. when i say that i've already caught three this morning before breakfast, you know? i don't even know where to go. >> dana: when you say that you've found three of them, what do you do? >> well, obviously call the border patrol. that's our first line of defense and that's another thing. we're nervous as to what we can and can't get away with. these people have it seems like more rights than we do. it is very unfortunate that we have to battle this and the cbp is telling us that all they do

is enforce policy. well, if the policy from the administration is catch and release, let's say, because that's all we're doing. we're taking them back to the border. testing some, testing maybe all, i don't know the true answer to that. turning them loose in the u.s. we aren't sending them back. and i said it before and i'll say it again these people are coming to you guys. they aren't staying here with us. >> dana: i take it as you said there were people there officials looking and we heard some dogs in the background. interesting thing for you, john, this is not your job. you are a rancher and want to ranch. i know this takes up a lot of your time. we appreciate you coming on and telling us about it, thank you. >> you bet. you guys need to spend some time with me. i said that before. it will amaze you if you can see the everyday challenges we're dealing with. >> dana: i would like to. >> bill: wow, in realtime as the day breaks. >> dana: i thought it was his

dog. they were trying to -- >> bill: our brain room crunched the numbers on last night speech. 19 minute for relief jobs and families plan. 5 minutes for healthcare. immigration got three minutes. immigration goes hand in hand with the border issue we were just talking about. three minutes. >> dana: that's priorities. >> bill: prosecutor handling the andrew brown junior shooting arguing against the release of police body cam video. what he claims happened before brown was shot dead. >> dana: china's military is getting more aggressive. the growing threat and the danger to our national security. >> they are not our superiors, want the make that clear right now. but their goal is to be superior to the united states military. and need cash for your family, r call newday usa. newday lets you borrow 100% of your home's value. the newday 100 va cash out loan lets you take out $50,000 or more. use it to improve your home or put cash in the bank.

>> dana: china stepping up military provocations, fighter jets are flying into taiwan's air defense zone. they are trying to expert control with a show of force. the aggressive moves posing a test for the united states. lucas tomlinson is live at the pentagon with more. are they thinking about this? >> they are. the incursions by chinese jets one of the reasons the u.s. air force has deployed b-52 bombers to the island of guam. >> president biden: in my discussion with president xi i told him we welcome the competition. we're not looking for conflict, but i made absolutely clear that we will defend america's interests across the board. >> senior u.s. officials think china could invade taiwan in the next six years. a u.s. guided missile destroyer

has been there after jets flew near taiwan. china is doubling the number of launchers and deploying solid fuel ballistic missile silos on a large scale. >> i think chinese are looking at us as if we're some sort of declining power. i think that's a bad estimation on their part. >> president biden says the u.s. military will maintain a strong presence in the pacific not to start a conflict but prevent one. dana. >> dana: thank you, lucas. >> bet back, get back, get back. get down. get back there. get back. [shouting. >> bill: this was last night. demonstrators arrested as protests continue over the death of andrew brown junior

northeastern section of north carolina. a judge yesterday delaying the release of police body cam video in that shooting. the prosecutor said brown hit deputies with his car while trying to drive away moments after they arrived to arrest him on drug charges. >> as it backs up it does make contact with law enforcement officers. the next movement of the car is forward, it is in the direction of law enforcement, and makes contact with law enforcement. it is then and only then that you hear shots. >> bill: geraldo and leo back with us today. good morning to both of you. the judge will not put this out for a month. the court finds the release would reveal information regarding a person of highly sensitive personal nature. by law in north carolina you don't have to release the body cam footage. was that the right call for now or not? >> i don't know, bill. i'm for disclosure. i think you put it out there,

you let it fly and let's see how people respond to it. the story that the car was backing up and maybe made contact with an officer and moved forward and made contact with an officer and why the fatal shots rang out, that story itself, that saga itself seems a bit improbable. i want to see the video and the best evidence. you've got six, seven, nine officers all there. why did they shoot that man and kill that man? was there an imminent risk of deadly or very serious harm to the officers involved? >> bill: apparently a couple different cameras on this. that's what we've been reporting anyway. leo, what do you think? >> very simple, bill. first of all the judge made a bad decision. release the tape. this isn't 1970. we have body cam, release it and let it go oh out for public review. ben crump already declared it as an execution. the tape, if you believe the

district attorney, the car is a deadly weapon. if there is received that the suspect hit the officers twice and then the officers fired, game over, justified shooting period, end of story. you can't use a car to attack a police officer. that's straight up deadly force. >> bill: so here is one of the attorneys for the brown family. how they see it. watch. >> let's be clear, this was an execution. andrew brown was in his driveway, the sheriff's truck blocked him in the driveway so he couldn't exit his driveway. he had his hands on the steering wheel. he was not reaching for anything. he wasn't touching anything. he had his hands firmly on the steering wheel. >> bill: that was earlier in the week. the sheriff says one of the body camera footage released to the public as soon as possible and disappointed it won't

happen immediately. as all the important facts are given to me i will act to insure accountability and as transparent as i can be. >> bill: the longer it goes on the more you wonder what's on it. >> of course. why let this agony be prolonged? you know, if the car bumped the sheriff, just bumped him, you know how sometimes in those crowds the person being bumped just puts their hands, no injury. as far as i know, no deputies are claiming that he killed them or pushed them with his vehicle. they are saying the car bumped the cops. it doesn't -- >> time out. very quickly. bump me. you haven't seen the tape. you are going to tell me that officer knows that this guy just wants to be bumped? that car is a deadly weapon and let's be clear. >> bill: i am quoting the district attorney. >> we need to see the evidence. that suspect had a wrap sheet

180 pages long and disingenuous and the race card when these attorneys who have a profit motivation keep calling it an execution. i want that tape released so the officers can be justified. >> bill: senator tim scott has been on the news. you saw him last night and earlier today. call for number 4 about intolerance in america against him. watch. >> i've also experienced a different kind of intolerance. i get called uncle tom and the n word by progressives, by liberals. just last week a national newspaper suggested my family's poverty was actually privilege. because a relative owned land generations before my time. believe me, i know firsthand our healing is not -- >> bill: that's one headline. the other one is he says america is not a racist country. how did you receive his message? >> i've been saying that for

the last three or four weeks. a black conservative like tim scott is the democrats' worst nice maier. why? it debunks the race card issue. america is not racist. if blacks leave the democratic party, the democratic party no longer exists and why they call him names. they have no facts so they resort to personal name calling. uncle tom, house negro, slave. they have no argument. america is not a racist country. there is no systemic discrimination. i can't say it enough. >> bill: i'm out of time. geraldo, can you do it in 15 seconds? >> just a story on the front page of the cleveland newspaper saying that black motorists are three times more likely to be stopped by cops than white motorists in the town of cleveland heights adjacent to me. this is an example. i love tim scott. i think he is pragmatic, honest, straight forward, great candidate for at least vice

president in 2024. to say this is not a racist country, sometimes there is evidence that there is plenty of racism to go around. >> bill: to be continued. >> dana: unemployment payments are making it hard for restaurant owners to find workers. how one restaurant owner is solving that problem next. ♪♪♪ banks can loan you some of it. newday can loan you all of it! the newday100 va cash out loan. new projects means new project managers. you need to hire. i need indeed. indeed you do. the moment you sponsor a job on indeed you get a short list of quality candidates from our resume database. claim your seventy five dollar credit, when you post your first job at indeed.com/home.

>> president biden: this makes jim crow look like jim eagle. this is gigantic what they are trying to do. >> there has been criticism that the decision by major league baseball to pull the all-star game from atlanta could ruin the state's economy. president biden used his speech last night to push congress to correct what democrats see as a wrong in georgia. >> president biden: congress should pass when hr1 and the john lewis voting act right away. >> you have to remember how important georgia is politically to president biden. he captured georgia's 16 electoral votes narrowly and democrats wound have control of the senate if they didn't win both of georgia senate seat in a january runoff. the democratic senate gives the president a chance to pass some of his policy priorities. >> dana: thank you, chad. >> president biden: my american families plan guarantees four

additional years of public education to every person in america. great universities in america have conducted studies and shows adding two years of high quality pre-school 3 and 4 year old no matter what background puts them in position to be able to compete. when you add two free years of community college on top of that you begin to change the dynamic. >> bill: pre-school, community college free for every american could come at a cost of $309 billion by raising taxes on the wealthy to be funded. bill bennett with us now. how are you doing, sir? i will set you up the following way. the american families plan is $225 billion toward high quality childcare they describe it. 225 billion national paid family medical leave program, 200 billion for universal

pre-school. it goes on and on and on. to our viewers at home read the screen. to those listening on satellite we just want you the know it's a lot of money. is this the answer? >> no, it's not the answer. certainly isn't the answer. we aren't doing very well with the k-12. if you had a 12-course menu and you tried every item on it and none of them were satisfactory would you tell the same chef to cook four more? i don't think so. you start to look at the chef and the kitchen and what the problem is. and the glaring issue in education right now he totally ignored. kids aren't in school. they aren't in school. why are we handing out hundreds of millions of dollars more for teachers when these kids aren't in school? we may lose a generation because of what happened over this past year. and by the way let me say this. when they are back in school, what are they learning? i think if you allow me what you guys are doing this morning is right.

the story out of last night is tim scott's speech. he was vilified and called the n word. this is what's going on in critical race theory. if you don't buy it then you're on the wrong side. you are a bigot and tim hit it out of the park last night and said 100 years ago it was race that mattered. your race determined who you are and your value. we destroyed that with martin luther king. he said not the color of your skin, the content of your character. now we're back to the color of your skin. and so one needs to think about not spending more and more and hundreds of millions more but straightening out what's in those classrooms once those kids are back in those classrooms. >> dana: sir, when president reagan declared that the era of big government is order the headline of the speech could have been it's back. he talked about spending a lot of money but not changing the way things are done. the head start program, lots of money poured into it. but what are they going to

change? why don't they assume that the government is going to be able to do everything better? >> head start program and research on all those early childhood programs says this. you can give kids with an intense investment, huge investment a little bit of a head start early on but what matters for a child's education is consistency over time. if you do the three, four, 5-year-old thing' they get a head start. by the way that's a lot of separation from parents at a critical age, they have to have follow up in the grades that come after. that's what we're not getting. we're certainly not getting it when kids aren't in school. now the teachers get a reward? this just boggles the mind to me. of course, we know it's the politics of this, the teachers union, they have their hands out telling them they want more money. he will give them more money but he is ignoring the critical issues of the day in education. >> bill: i don't know if you were watching yesterday, maybe you were. newt gingrich hit on this point

and put the focus on beijing as a result of it. watch. >> if i were the chinese communists i would love watching american wokeness because it undermines the whole society. what is this free junior college going to be like? what will it teach? can you get an undergraduate degree in wokeness or critical race theory? meanwhile the chinese are getting degrees in science and math. i don't think we understand how big the crisis is. >> bill: you are twins on that thinking. >> my fellow traveler in maturity and maturing quite well. wokeness is absolutely right -- he is right about that. we were 26th in math in the last survey of the progress international studies. 26th in math. china was first. so what are we putting on the

schools. critical race theory and scott said going backwards. scott is the story. what happened to scott is another big story. he knows what's important in education. >> bill: bill bennett. thank you. >> dana: left wing users of twitter tairking the low road invoking a racial slur against senator tim scott and the social media site allowing it to trend. isn't it a violation of their own stated standards? hunter biden set to lecture college students on fake news. backlash against the president's son coming in waves. >> joe biden has called hunter biden the smartest man he knows and turns out that wasn't fake news at all because hunter biden is now going to be a professor. ♪♪♪

three robots to serve customers while former employees sit at home and collect unemployment, unquote. i don't know about that. what do you think about that? >> i guess you don't have to tip them. >> dana: is everyone going to be touching that touch screen? i don't love that idea, know what i mean? >> you have sanitizer everywhere. >> dana: you can understand why restaurant owners are doing this. they have to serve their customers. >> bill: you're right. would you go there because of the robot? >> dana: no. >> bill: check it out. >> dana: you might. no, i wouldn't. >> bill: how does this work? here we go. watch this. >> no one is more of an expert in fake news than hunter biden and not just an ordinary purveyor of fake news, hunter biden has extra something special because he can turn real news into fake news like

for instance our story about hunter biden's laptop last year. >> bill: that is one example the boomerang effect hitting hunter biden. landing a speaking gig to talk about fake news at tulane university this fall. and now the backlash coming fast and furious. critics wondering what qualifications he has on the topic especially after big tech censored the new york story of his laptop and when he denied things that later turned out to be true. angela, welcome. "new york post" says hunter biden's fake news expertise considering he hasn't been the subject of fake news, only -- we wonder what his speech will be about in the 10 week media polarization and public policy impact series. what will it be about? >> hunter's expertise on fake news and media polarization

comes from being its greatest beneficiary. i doubt he will address that because that's the truth, we know that's not his specialty. it is interesting because look, hunter is going to bring to the tulane classroom the exact same value he brought to the board at burisma. the exact same thing that he leaned on during his shady business dealings in china. that is called being named hunter biden. this is nepotism at its finest and a real double standard. >> bill: the course description, media polarization, explore the media landscape in the u.s. and how fake news and economics of the news business impact public policy making in washington, d.c. what does he know about that? >> well, it's interesting because he knows substantially less than anyone else on that all-star list of guest speakers. interestingly enough there are no conservatives present, although i will give tulane credit they included fox news's own juan williams, at least

they are sort of getting closer to balance even if they're not really all that close at all. >> bill: not picking on juan, are you? >> never, i never would. >> bill: listen, they denied the computer, during the interviews he said yeah, it could be mine, certainly. >> that's right. he went on cbs and said well, this is russian disinformation. the director of national intelligence disagreed. we're talking about someone under investigation for his taxes. we're talking about someone who lied on his federal background check application to own a gun. that's a crime. tulane is bringing this to their campus and giving them the microphone to influence the next generation of leaders. >> bill: it is supposed to happen in the fall. let's see if it even does happen. angela is with us today. thank you. >> dana: senator tim scott

>> bill: u.s. post all service now admitting to scanning -- the agency's internet covert operations program which analyzes social media posts for inflammatory or violent messages. last week yahoo news obtained an internal memo. it was targeting protest groups including the proud boys ahead of planned demonstrations last month. interesting development. do you get a confession? there was on the postal service. >> dana: there is this. >> last night what was trending in social media was uncle tim. they doubled down on this concept of liberal oppression. it is stunning in 2021 that those who speak about ending discrimination want to end it

by more discrimination. >> dana: tim scott reacting to the ugly racial slurs against him allowed to trend on twitter. carley shimkus, how are you seeing it this morning? >> i'm not surprised this phrase was trending because twitter is one part political commentary, one part cess pool and sometimes hard to tell one from the other. twitter's response say they will no longer allow the phrase to be included in their trending section but nothing about removing some of these tweets. it appears that some of them do violate their hateful conduct policy which says you cannot attack people based on their race. here we go again, guys. the question is would these tweets still be up on the platform if they were attacking a democrat? that's a valid question. twitter's response is one part of the story but the bigger issue or the number of people who thought it was okay to say something like that. >> bill: right. >> dana: exactly. starting in the first place.

>> bill: and went on for 11 hours. you mentioned the company. the company can confirm we're blocking the phrase you referenced from appearing in trends. this is in line with our policies on trends. we want trends to promote healthy conversations on twitter. it means at times we may not allow or temporarily prevent content from appearing in trends until for context is available. including trends that violate twitter rules. this would be in that category. but yet it was there for 11 hours, right? >> it was. and it garnered a lot. we talked about tweets before and how one or two people like or comment on them. this was a much more popular phrase to be used on twitter last night. i do want to focus this conversation on that phrase. it reminded me of the time during the campaign when president biden said if you vote for president trump, then you are not black. that's exactly what tim scott is referring to when he talks about liberal oppression. if you are black or hispanic

and you vote democrat there is something wrong for you. what a truly toxic idea. so just assuming somebody is going to vote for somebody based on the color of their skin seems racist in and of itself. james carville had an interview this week talking about how democrats stay in power. inroads need to be made within rural white voters. republicans need to make inroads with urban black voters and they already are. president trump did better in 2020 than he did in 201. a lot of these attacks from tim scott are coming from the fact they see him as a threat. >> dana: another tweet saying how can calling scott uncle tim be racist when he told everyone this isn't a racist country? >> yeah. >> dana: just because you're on twitter doesn't mean you have to say something like that. >> i heard karl rove at the

beginning of the show. let's take this episode of "america's newsroom" full circle. i heard him talking about some of the favorite things that tim scott yesterday said. i want the add one to the list. he said i love this. he says original sin is never the end of the story not in our souls and not for our nation. the real story is always redemption. i mean, how spot on is that? why are we ripping down statues and tearing out sections of our history book rather than celebrating the progress we as a country and the world have made towards greater equality? everybody should be celebrating that. we should get away from the racist attacks on both sides. celebrate our country. >> bill: amen to that. >> dana: i love having carley here and love to bring it full circle for us. that's very helpful. >> bill: as we close out what do you have? a little something coming up tonight? >> nfl draft, did you know that? >> bill: so i have heard. >> dana: and do you know that i

know a lot about it. >> bill: yes, actually this is an area of expertise. >> dana: it is. are you ready? i have a prediction. the sec, has led the nation's conferences in nfl draft picks how many years in a row? 14. 14. >> bill: is this a quiz? >> dana: a little of both. >> bill: perino knowledge continue. >> dana: i know you will keep an eye on jaylon phillips and gregory russo out of your alma mater. expected to go in the first round. did you not know that? >> bill: miami of ohio had two guys in the first round? >> dana: maybe my friend didn't realize that. maybe they went to the university of miami. that prediction won't do very

well. 49ers will try to four picks quarterbacks because they don't have a quarterback and they want to get one. i think four quarterbacks in the first round. >> bill: we'll watch the draft tonight then first round 8:00. cleveland, ohio. >> dana: i think it will be over earlier. here is harris. >> bill: see you tomorrow. >> harris: president biden in his first address to congress calls for immigration report and path to citizenship for people here illegally. even a fellow democrat he heard no plan for the massive crisis at the border. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus". in his 63-minute long speech the president spent just three minutes on immigration and did not directly address the overwhelming migrant surge. when he did go to the topic he asked congress to send a bill to his desk. >> president biden: i kept
